Christopher Hayes genuinely horrified that Shaun King 'forced' to write essay about his racial identity

Somehow, the race of #BlackLivesMatter activist Shaun King became big news over the last three days, not in any small part because King refused to answer questions like “Are you black?” with a simple yes or no, instead retreating temporarily and letting the question linger.

He wasn’t kidding about the piece being his whole story. In a personal essay of about 600 million words, King says that his biological father is not the white man named on his birth certificate, but a “light-skinned black man” with whom his mother had an affair — one reason he didn’t want to broach the topic. “By the time I reached middle school, I fully identified myself not even as biracial, but just as black.”

So, the short answer: multiracial. Glad that’s settled once and for all … right?

As usual, King concludes by repeating that he has a single mission to which he has dedicated himself: “My focus will continue to be ending police brutality. I believe it is the pre-eminent civil rights issue of modern America and that, together, we can fight against it effectively.”

If @shaunking wanted to feel the pain of black Americans, hang in the urban areas to see what liberal agenda has done
Don't mock us dude!??
